| | Football | West Ham hope for one more miracle |
 | | While it is true to say that Trevor Brooking has an MBE (awarded in 1981), he has since received a CBE (1999). |
 | | By the time Brooking hung up his boots in 1984, after a career spanning 636 league and cup matches for the Hammers and 47 appearances for England, he had become admired for his reliability and consistency. |
 | | Brooking retired at 34, going home to Shenfield and his wife, Hilkka, a Finn whom he had met when she was working as an au pair, and their children, Colette and Warren. |
